Initial Contact & Setting Up the Date ([02:40] - [05:10])

• Brooke ([02:40]): Opens up by addressing a listener, Davis, who reached out about his date experience.
• Jeff ([02:59]): Kicks off the discussion by asking Davis about his first date with Ashley.
• Davis ([04:07]): Explains that Ashley asked him for a ride, a somewhat unusual request that piqued his interest. They met through a dating app and had a lengthy phone conversation before deciding to meet in person.

The Date Unfolds ([05:19] - [07:57])

• Brooke ([05:25]): Davis recounts arriving at Ashley’s house, which he discovers is spacious but empty as her roommate was out.
• Davis ([05:41]): Describes the relaxed atmosphere where they share drinks on the porch, leading to prolonged conversation and eventually a kiss.
• Incident with Ashley’s Dog Nugget ([06:32] - [07:09]): Davis nearly lets Ashley’s dog escape by leaving the door ajar, showcasing his slightly scattered attention due to drinking.

Demonstrating Handiness ([07:12] - [08:11])

• Davis ([07:33]): While attempting to change a broken porch light, Davis claims to be “a little handy,” a trait he believes would endear him to Ashley.
• Brooke and Jeff’s Banter ([07:43] - [08:11]): Engage in playful skepticism about Davis’s definition of "handy," questioning whether simply changing a light bulb qualifies and teasing him about his handyman skills.

---

Core Discussion: “Too Handy Not Handsy”

Brooke and Jeffrey’s Analysis ([08:24] - [10:00])

• Brooke ([08:24]): Suggests that Davis and Ashley might have connected on a platonic level, questioning whether there was genuine romantic interest.
• Jeff ([09:03]): Cynically remarks on their show’s tendency to highlight flaws rather than praise positive traits, stating, “We like to downplay your positive traits and good deeds... because we're trying to help you realize your own flaws.”
• Davis ([09:59]): Expresses feeling misunderstood as his intentions were genuine, but he still hasn’t heard back from Ashley.

Identifying the Problem

• The hosts conclude that Davis’s excessive helpfulness—his “handiness”—may have been perceived as overbearing or insincere, leading Ashley to distance herself despite their initial connection.

Interactive Segment: Calling Ashley ([10:00] - [17:58])

Connecting with Ashley

• Jeff ([10:00]): Attempts to call Ashley live on the show to get her perspective, introducing her into the conversation.
• Ashley ([11:04]): Initially confused, clarifies that she’s unaware of Davis's intentions and expresses frustration with the dating scene, indicating she’s in a “handyman phase” where she leverages dates to fix household issues rather than seeking romantic connections.

Brooke and Jeffrey’s Reaction ([12:00] - [17:58])

• Brooke and Jeff: React with disbelief and amusement at Ashley’s candid admission, questioning the sincerity of Davis’s actions and whether Ashley was genuinely interested in him or just his handyman skills.
• Ashley ([13:43]): Further explains her approach to dating, focusing on the practicality of having someone handy rather than seeking a traditional romantic relationship.
• Davis ([16:00]): Reiterates his disappointment, feeling that Ashley was not seeking the same genuine connection he was, leading to confusion about why she’s not responding to his texts.

Conclusion of the Call

• Brooke ([17:56]): Highlights the disconnect between Davis’s intentions and Ashley’s expectations, humorously suggesting that his handiness was the actual reason for the lack of follow-up.
• Jeff ([18:08]): Jokes about the absurdity of the situation, indicating that Davis might need to reassess his approach to dating.

---

Final Thoughts and Takeaways

Brooke and Jeffrey’s Insights ([18:28] - [20:25])

• Brooke: Critiques both parties—for Davis, for potentially overstepping with his handy traits, and for Ashley, for using dating as a means to an end rather than fostering genuine relationships.
• Jeff: Emphasizes the importance of balancing helpfulness with genuine personal connection, warning against using practical skills as the sole basis for dating.
• Alexis ([21:34] onwards): Adds humorous commentary, reinforcing the idea that while being handy is beneficial, it should not overshadow the need for authentic romantic interest.

Key Takeaways:

1. Balance in Traits: While practical skills like being handy are attractive, they should complement rather than replace genuine personal connection and romantic interest.
2. Clear Intentions: Both parties should communicate their intentions clearly to avoid misunderstandings—whether seeking love or practical assistance.
3. Avoiding Overcompensation: Overemphasizing positive traits can sometimes be perceived as insincere or overbearing, potentially deterring romantic interest.

[Jeff]

Second date update on a first date. If you're a woman, where's the safest place to meet a guy for the first time?

[Brooke]

Public. Yeah, lots of people.

[Jeff]

Public is too general.

[Alexis]

Outside of a police station.

[Brooke]

I mean anywhere. A bar, a restaurant.

[Jeff]

I've crossed off a few suggestions Jose gave earlier. Dark web. No. Although it does provide good energy. Anonymity on.

[Brooke]

Wait, is that.

[Alexis]

What about like the dim web? Like not a full dark.

[Brooke]

Maybe a children a place. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Okay. Children's toy store where the security guard can see you. Safe, visual with fun.

[Brooke]

I think they're all closed, aren't they? Like maybe.

[Jeff]

I know Alexis doesn't feel comfortable giving guys her apartment, so she always gives them the address to Brooke's house.

[Brooke]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeff]

Meets them there.

[Alexis]

It's really big. They'll get lost in that house.

[Brooke]

Yeah, nobody wants to steal anything from there anyway. Is that how that gutter guy ended up in my house? And actually a door to door salesman we hired.

[Jeff]

Yeah, one of our listeners, Davis, said he met his date at a place that he never expected he would. So let's learn more about it. Davis, welcome to the show. What's this girl's name, first of all?

[Brooke]

Hey.

[Davis]

So her name's Ashley.

[Jeff]

Ashley.

[Brooke]

Ashley.

[Jeff]

Where did Ashley want to meet you?

[Davis]

So we were going to go out and she asked me to give her a ride, which I thought was really interesting. That doesn't usually happen.

[Brooke]

Step to not safest things to do on a date. Yeah, I'm guessing. Had you met in person before or is this meet up off the apps?

[Davis]

No, this is off an app.

[Alexis]

Yeah, so that's kind of sketch, getting in a car.

[Brooke]

Shouldn't you just never do that, ever?

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

I mean, honestly, Davis, I trust you immediately. So you can come to the radio station wherever you want. How long were you guys talking before the date happened?

[Davis]

So we only talked once and it was on the phone, but it was for like three hours.

[Brooke]

Oh, so I mean, you Obviously were vibing and you were clicking, talking for three hours.

[Alexis]

You gotta have a good connection with somebody.

[Brooke]

But it. Was there a reason why she wanted you to pick her up?

[Davis]

You know, she didn't mention. She just asked if I could pick her up. And I thought, okay, that's fine.

[Jeff]

So she gave you an address and this turned out to be the actual place that she really lived?

[Brooke]

Yeah, why wouldn't it be?

[Jeff]

I'm just saying.

[Alexis]

Gotcha.

[Jeff]

I don't know. I could give a different address.

[Brooke]

That is so weird.

[Jeff]

That's what I would do. But I don't know.

[Brooke]

What was it like when you showed up at her house and if it was her house or apartment and you got her?

[Davis]

Yeah, I mean, it was great. So it was a house and she has a roommate, but her roommate was out for the night. So, you know, I said, hey, yeah, let's. Why don't we, you know, head out, we'll go. And she said, well, first, do you want a drink? Like, I can give you a tour. And I was like, oh, okay.

[Jeff]

Oh, wow. She's inviting you inside immediately.

[Alexis]

And a drink. That's great.

[Brooke]

And they're hanging.

[Davis]

Yeah. How can I say no? So after the tour, we just sat on the porch and just started talking, and that turned into, like, longer and longer, and eventually we didn't even end up going out.

[Brooke]

It's just like. It's just like your phone call from the first time you met, like, you just get lost in conversation together. That's such a great sign. What'd you guys, like, connect over?

[Davis]

We connected over a lot of stuff. We have, like, a very similar sense of humor.

[Jeff]

We.

[Davis]

We like a lot of similar things, like similar movies and shows and things like that.

[Alexis]

What's the issue, though?

[Jeff]

Did anything weird happen?

[Davis]

Well, okay. Not. I don't know if it was weird. Like, okay, so we were on the front porch. We had a few drinks throughout the time that we were there.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Davis]

So I kept going in and out to get the drinks and come back out with them. And she has a dog named Nugget. Really cute.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Davis]

Yeah. But she kept warning me, you know, hey, like, just make sure you're mindful of shutting the door, because, you know he'll run away if he gets out. Yeah. So after a few drinks, kind of forgot that she had a dog for a little bit. So I did leave the door crack while I was handing her drink. And Nugget almost got out. He was, like, halfway out the door. And I had this sort of. Yeah, I had to dive to grab him.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. But you got him.

[Davis]

I did. I got him. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Davis]

But then after that, it was getting dark. I said, why don't we put on the light? Do you have a light out here? And she said, well, I would, but it's sort of broken and too high for me to change. And I said, oh, well, that's not that high. I can reach that. So I reached up and I changed the light, and she said, oh, you know, that was really nice for you to do. I appreciate that. And I said, oh, yeah, I'm a little handy. A little.

[Brooke]

Sometimes you're a little handy by changing a light bulb.

[Jeff]

That's handy. If you change a light bulb, that's something that's useful that you do around the house.

[Brooke]

That is not handy, Jeff. Anybody can change a light bulb.

[Jeff]

It's using your.

[Brooke]

Handy means that you have, like, skill and you know how to.

[Jeff]

You have to twist it one way and then twist it back the other.

[Alexis]

And then sometimes as a dud, you gotta do it twice.

[Brooke]

I understand it's handy where you grew up, Davis.

[Jeff]

She doesn't consider you handy, man.

[Brooke]

Well, not for that.

[Davis]

You know what? I did fix her burner, too.

[Jeff]

Oh, what burner?

[Brooke]

Wait a minute.

[Alexis]

That is handy.

[Brooke]

Her burner phone?

[Alexis]

Yeah, I threw it.

[Davis]

I hope not. No, the burner on her kitchen stove.

[Brooke]

Wow. Okay. That's handy.

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Davis]

Thank you.

[Jeff]

You screwed in a gas pipe this time, which is way more different.

[Brooke]

Less romantic vibes.

[Alexis]

Yeah, it does sound like you help you talk for a few hours. You may just be a really best friend now.

[Brooke]

Or maybe she's not getting back to you because there's CO2 poisoning in her house. I didn't do it, right.

[Davis]

I hope not.

[Jeff]

Was there any romance? Like, any kissing action or.

[Davis]

We did kiss a little bit at the end of the night before I left.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Davis]

Well, she's romantically into me. Why isn't she answering my text now?

[Alexis]

She should be excited to text you. If anything. She should be like, oh, my God. Okay, wait 30 minutes before you text him back.

[Brooke]

Totally. It sounds so good. All of it.

[Davis]

Yeah, I thought it was.

[Alexis]

Something's wrong with her, bro. No way.

[Brooke]

It's you.

[Alexis]

Yeah, we'll find out what her problem is.

[Jeff]

Too handy, even. We don't know.

[Brooke]

Maybe it's handsy.

[Ashley]

Maybe that was the problem.

[Jeff]

Well, Brooke would consider that a perk.

[Brooke]

Everybody has a different opinion, Jeff.

[Jeff]

Let's figure this out. We're gonna call Ashley for you, get you a second date update right after this. Hold on. Second date update. Most other radio shows try to lift up their listeners. Praise them for doing nice things and good deeds on a first date. Yeah, that's not really our style. We like to downplay your positive traits and good deeds. And we'll even insult your handy skills because we're trying to help you to realize your own flaws.

[Brooke]

Why are you so stuck on this? Changing a light bulb is not handy, Jeff. And that's good.

[Alexis]

Yes. Double down.

[Jeff]

Insult his manhood.

[Brooke]

I'm not insulting a manhood.

[Jeff]

Real love isn't about caring. Real love isn't about support. It's about flaw finding. And our listener Davis appreciates that. Right, Davis?

[Davis]

I guess so, yes.

[Jeff]

Now, brooke wrote down 15 other shortcomings that she noticed during the date.

[Brooke]

He was super nice and helped her out.

[Jeff]

O too nice.

[Davis]

She made one call.

[Brooke]

She might not be calling you. You are so impossible some days.

[Jeff]

Davis, she's calling you impossible.

[Brooke]

No, I'm talking to you, Jeffrey.

[Jeff]

Oh, hard to tell sometimes.

[Brooke]

You're exhausting.

[Jeff]

Yeah, well, it's possible that he did exhaust her because Davis was with her at her house for many, many hours, drinking out on her front porch.

[Brooke]

It's so cute, though. Like, I can't believe she's not calling you back.

[Davis]

Same.

[Brooke]

Same.

[Jeff]

I'm hoping that the reason that she's not calling you back is that her dog just got loose and she's been out looking for it. If anything, she probably needs your help to track him down.

[Brooke]

Not a good alternative.

[Jeff]

Can you screw with.

[Brooke]

That's your positivity, Jess.

[Jeff]

We're here to help her in her time of need. That's a good thing. Let's dial her and see where she's at. And if she needs a little listen. Here we go. Hopefully she picks up.

[Ashley]

Hello?

[Jeff]

Hey, is this Ashley?

[Ashley]

Yes, it is. Who's this?

[Jeff]

Hey.

[Brooke]

Hey, Ashley.

[Jeff]

We're a radio show. We just wanted to know, is Nugget there?

[Brooke]

Can you put Nugget up to the phone?

[Jeff]

Is Nugget safe?

[Ashley]

What?

[Jeff]

Your dog?

[Alexis]

Yeah, your dog, Nugget.

[Brooke]

That has the cutest name ever. Good job on naming your dog.

[Ashley]

Thanks. I don't know how you know my.

[Jeff]

Dog'S name, but we heard it from a listener to our show that you met up with for a date recently. His name's Davis.

[Ashley]

Okay. I don't really. I don't really remember.

[Jeff]

You don't remember Davis?

[Ashley]

I. Yeah, I don't know. I just. I kind of hang out with a lot of people.

[Brooke]

So do you guys talked for hours. He came to your house?

[Jeff]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

I think you just hung out with him, like, a week ago.

[Ashley]

A week ago?

[Jeff]

Yeah. According to him, you guys met on a dating app. You asked him to come pick you up for a date, and then he ended up just staying there, drinking with you on your front porch.

[Brooke]

Which, you know, we were actually shocked that you were so trusting of him so quickly. I mean, because it's just a guy you met on the Internet.

[Alexis]

Yeah.

[Ashley]

Does he have dark hair? I think he was wearing a gray shirt.

[Jeff]

We've never seen him, but that does sound like him.

[Alexis]

Yeah, good old gray shirty.

[Jeff]

He sounded very. Gray shirt and dark hair. Over the.

[Brooke]

How many dates? I mean, it's impressive you're fitting that many in a week. How could you not remember someone like that you spent hours with?

[Ashley]

Well, to be honest, I mean, that's kind of like just how I use the dating apps. I've been doing this for a while.

[Brooke]

Doing what?

[Jeff]

Wait, what?

[Alexis]

You invite people over and talk to them and then let them leave. That's called a date. You're not tricking anyone.

[Brooke]

But it feels like you didn't even know his name while he was at your house.

[Ashley]

Yeah, I've been using dating apps for over a year now. And when I started, I was looking for a relationship, but I don't. I don't really know if that's where I'm at anymore.

[Brooke]

What do you mean? Like, you. You just. You don't want to see anybody seriously, or, like, why go out on the date to begin with if that?

[Jeff]

I just.

[Ashley]

I saw, like, too many people just want to mess around, you know? And after a while, it just really kind of, I don't know, mess with my head. So I just decided, screw it, I'm just gonna be in my free handyman phase.

[Brooke]

Your what?

[Jeff]

Free handyman phase.

[Alexis]

So you do admit he's handy.

[Brooke]

What do you mean?

[Ashley]

Well, so I'll set up a meeting with a guy, and they will end up fixing stuff for me.

[Brooke]

What?

[Alexis]

You don't like him?

[Brooke]

How do you even know they're handy when you meet him on the app?

[Alexis]

Oh, that's a good point. Cause if some girl asked me to do some stuff.

[Brooke]

Yeah, you're stuck with them for hours.

[Ashley]

I mean, come on. All guys like to think they're handy, whether they really are or not.

[Brooke]

I mean, Jeff, I think so much time. Jeffrey did think that he was handy with the light bulb, so.

[Jeff]

Yeah, I'll screw in any light bulb in this studio. Watch me.

[Brooke]

Dude, that's so messed up. You're just using these people but you spend hours with them and kiss them all for. Oh, yeah, they did.

[Alexis]

Yeah. Wait a minute.

[Brooke]

That sucks.

[Ashley]

God, guys, chill out. I mean, look, I'll have him back over if something else goes wrong in.

[Jeff]

The house, but what about romantic? Like, he thought that he was going over there to have, like, a genuine connection with you.

[Alexis]

I thought you were pretty.

[Brooke]

And honestly, if you are pretty, you could probably just put on the apps just looking for a handyman and guys would still volunteer to do that. Or do you have a landlord? Exactly.

[Alexis]

Yeah, that's true, too.

[Ashley]

Yeah, the landlord takes forever to solve things. And look, if I put just looking for a handyman on an app, people are going to show up thinking that it's like an X rated request.

[Alexis]

Oh, that's kind of true. Just looking for a pizza guy.

[Jeff]

Okay.

[Alexis]

Show up in uniform. Oh, I would show up so ready.

[Brooke]

Dude, that's so messed up. He's gonna be hurt.

[Jeff]

Is he gonna be hurt? We don't know. The only way to find out is if we actually just talk to him, because he just happens to be on the other line right now waiting to jump in on this conversation.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God, he heard everything.

[Alexis]

Is he there?

[Ashley]

Listen, before he jumps in, I'm just. I'm still trying to figure out which guy he is because I had two come over in the same weekend.

[Brooke]

How many broken things do you have in your home?

[Ashley]

Did he. I just. Did he recog the bathtub or anything about any recognition?

[Brooke]

No, he fixed your stove.

[Jeff]

Unless we missed that part of the story. Davis, are you there?

[Alexis]

You would have remembered that word.

[Davis]

Yeah. Hey, I'm here.

[Brooke]

What?

[Davis]

Ashley, I think you're confused. I'm trying to date for love, and I'm looking for someone who wants the same.

[Brooke]

Oh, that was such a sweet response.

[Alexis]

Maybe you're confused.

[Ashley]

Well, I really love that you fixed my stove.

[Brooke]

No.

[Alexis]

She's so bad.

[Brooke]

Actually, you had a connection with him. Maybe you're just jaded from being hurt. You know?

[Ashley]

I mean, that's true. And I'm sorry you feel bad. I mean, I. You were nice to talk to. I mean, I'm happy to hang out again with you at my place while.

[Jeff]

He fixes something else for you, like.

[Ashley]

Well, only if he wants to.

[Alexis]

Oh, that's good.

[Brooke]

She's being honest. What an offer. How could anyone pass that up?

[Ashley]

I mean, the good news is I've already got a guy who's really good with plumbing, so I'll never ask you to do any plumbing.

[Jeff]

Oh, there's a different guy.

[Brooke]

You have that Many plumbing issues. Well, it's hard to find a good.

[Alexis]

Plumber, just in general.

[Davis]

I just feel so taken advantage of right now. I really thought we had a. A real connection. And it looks like you have this kind of connection with a lot of people.

[Ashley]

Oh, David, I'm really sorry you feel that way.

[Jeff]

It's Davis with an S. Davis.

[Davis]

Oh, my God, David.

[Brooke]

I can't believe you kissed him still.

[Alexis]

I know. Was that because you were drinking? What was that?

[Brooke]

Or is that the tip?

[Ashley]

You know, he did a nice thing for me. What's wrong with a little harmless kissing.

[Brooke]

Everything when he thinks there's more?

[Alexis]

Because he's like, bye, I love you. She's like, yeah, bye, Ryan. Whatever your name was.

[Brooke]

That's awful.

[Ashley]

Again, like, I'm sorry if he was confused about things, but I just know where I am at in my life. I'm in this handyman phase.

[Brooke]

But you didn't tell him that.

[Ashley]

Yeah, well, now he knows. If he'd like to come over again, I'd be open to it.

[Brooke]

There is no way Davis still wants to hang out with her.

[Alexis]

Come on, buy some wood and go build her a deck, bro. If you love her, go get her.

[Jeff]

Never underestimate the shallowness of a guy. You know, you never know what he's gonna say if it means scoring another date with a cute girl, so.

[Alexis]

That's true.

[Jeff]

Davis, remember how pretty Ashley was?

[Ashley]

And I think I hear a noise in my ceiling fan.

[Jeff]

Another opportunity to demonstrate your manly handliness for her.

[Alexis]

She just pulls the cord through.

[Brooke]

She just pays you in kisses.

[Jeff]

What do you think, Davis?

[Davis]

My handiness is deserved for someone who loves me.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's right, Davis. Way to have a standard. That should be a bumper sticker.

[Davis]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Well, thank you for being on. On the show with us, David, and good luck.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God, you're so good luck.

[Jeff]

With all your handy dating life stuff in the future.

[Davis]

All right, thank you.

[Jeff]

And, Ashley, I know a couple guys on our text board at 78592, say they will be available at a moment's notice to come and fix your ceiling fan or whatever you got going on.

[Brooke]

Do you have no dignity left?

[Alexis]

No.

[Jeff]

She kisses at the end of the date.

[Davis]

Yeah.

[Alexis]

You know, last time I kissed somebody.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Jeff]

I wasn't kidding. We really were Getting texts at 78592 from many gentlemen who would not mind helping Ashley with her household problems.

[Alexis]

Dude, but we're men. We want to feel useful. And we like pretty women.

[Brooke]

Have some respect. Get paid for it.

[Jeff]

At least that's the thing you have to think about. Like, I know we were saying earlier that having a stranger who you just met on the Internet come over to your house for a date is kind of sketchy. But how is that any different than finding a random handyman on the Internet and hiring him to come out to your house?

[Brooke]

Yeah, Jeff, I don't. I don't have those guys come to my house when I'm home alone. Yeah, like. Well, you literally make sure that someone else is there. That's what women do. And, like, make sure you know their name. Maybe.

[Jeff]

I'm just saying, either way, it's a random dude that you're inviting over to your house. But at least Ashley's plan was economical because she got free work done.

[Brooke]

I don't know. She can't change her own light bulb. I'm just like, I'm disappointed in her as a human.

[Alexis]

Switch was just off.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Do you know how many people I've paid to come out and change my light bulbs for me? And I pay them. She's just given all the women of the world a great life hack.

[Alexis]

You just bought a house and you're paying people to change your life.

[Brooke]

Pay me next time.

[Jeff]

I don't know. I don't know if you guys are handyman certified.

[Brooke]

Again, it doesn't take a handyman.

[Jeff]

I need to see the check mark next to your name if I'm going to believe you're going to fix my stuff. But if you ever want help with your dating life. We're not certified at all for that.

[Alexis]

We will help.

[Jeff]

We'll step in and give it our best try. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
